I am happy to report that one of my weight-loss secrets is endorsed not only by Weight Watchers but also by The New England Journal of Medicine.
What’s the secret? Step on your bathroom scale every morning.
According to the October 2011 issue of Weight Watchers Magazine, a study from The New England Journal of Medicine found that “study participants who weighed in daily were 82 percent less likely to regain lost weight.”
In fact, “closely monitoring your weight—and taking quick action if it creeps up—seems to be the secret to keeping it off,” says Dr. Rena R. Wing, director of the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center at the Miriam Hospital and professor of psychiatry at Brown Medical School.
